how to support our hobby?

i've been an otaku for years and have quite a few hundred series under my belt, and i now have finances to give back to the shows i enjoy. i'm wondering how i can give back to the community and support the studios who produce these shows. how/where exactly could i purchase merch or fund those companies? i now crunchyroll helps but how could i be more direct/specific to certain studios?

By buying the merchandise for the series you want to support. Everybody has their own interests, but things you can buy include (but are not limited to): DVDs/BDs, figures, posters, clothing, and miscellaneous trinkets.

Remember to only buy from the main company itself and authorized retailers, otherwise your money won't be supporting the industry.

I'm not much of a buyfag yet due to constrained funds, so if anyone else wants to chime in with corrections, I'm more than happy to listen.
